A força argumentativa das conjunções coordenativas em tiras da Mafalda: uma proposta de análise linguística voltada para a produção textual no ensino de língua materna.

Abstract

The diversity of textual genres offers a valuable opportunity for the perception of argumentativeness that is guided in the speeches based on certain linguistic choices made by the interlocutors. Among these, the genre comic strip, which is part of the hypergender Comic­book story, when using verbal language, it is permeated with argumentation, since its communicative objective intends to be achieved in a relatively succinct text. In this bias, this research has as main objective to analyze how the argumentative force is built by the use of coordinating conjunctions in Mafalda's comic strips, in order to elaborate a didactic intervention with this theme. The theoretical framework that underlies discussions about argumentation is the Theory of Argumentation in the Language of Ducrot et al. (1987, 1988), Barbosa (2015) and Koch (2006). About the conceptions of language and languages, its main references are Saussure (2006), Bakhtin (2006) and Koch (2006). Grammar definitions were pointed out based on Franchi (2006), Travaglia (2009) and Possenti (1996). The discussion about textual genres is based on the studies of Marcuschi (2008), Bakhtin (1997, 2006) and Antunes (2009). And with regard to the textual genre comic strip, we seek theoretical support in the postulates of Ramos (2017). This is an investigative study, of a descriptive and interpretative character, as it adopts analytical principles about linguistic elements, focusing on the verbal linguistic structure and its textual organization that imprint the subjectivity expressed through the intended meanings, more specifically, of the argumentative orientation . The result of this research is a pedagogical guide for Portuguese language teachers which addressed the composition of the comic strip genre, the senses guided by coordinating conjunctions, in particular, the argumentative force that this grammatical category gives to the statements and, also, the series of comic strips of the character Mafalda. The development of this research becomes relevant, since it can contribute to the improvement of the teaching­ learning process in Portuguese language classes, which should propose a study of linguistic analysis that contributes to the expansion of knowledge that is increasingly significant for the students.
